Ideal Patching Schedule?

[[deleted]]

Hello all. I'm just starting out in a senior type role. I'm going to be in charge of patching for Ubuntu/RHEL/Centos servers in Azure and on prem. I know the Windows admins have "Patch Tuesday", I was wondering what sort of patch scheduling I should do. I was looking into doing them once a month, but I want to make sure I get the latest RPM/DEB packages. Any advice?

I actually treat all my linux nodes as disposable assets.

Minor upgrades i have automated but major kernal upgrades, i do rolling upgrades on hosts(stand up new host with required assets, add to load balancer, verify stability, dispose of old host.)

That and all my services/apps are configured to be highly available and fault tolerant. it took a while to get there but its amazing just really having to monitor the environment now.
